Falsargot

Falsargot is the secret code language that is used by the Baiting Musicians to speak privately with one another.  

A musical Thieves' Cant

  Falsargot is a variation on Candezin, the language of the Musical Continent. As such, it utilizes nearly the same linguistic themes Candezin has.   But it differs in a few aspects: its phonology and graphology.  

Phonology

One feature of Candezin is the almost musical production of the sounds that form words. Speakers of Falsargot give special attention to this feature, adding emphasis on their pronunciation and the forming of the Candezin words to actually convey a whole different message.  
Leraue as uel phiel. Niena man gheyare kone thun.
It is a beautiful day. Nothing keeps me from smiling!
Be very careful this day. The Inquisitors are here.
A sentence in Candezin, its translated meaning and its meaning when spoken in Falsargot
  This differs from a regular Thieves' Cant, which uses a sentence that is structured in such a way that speakers of the language find a different meaning than those who don't speak it.  
A farmer left his trash here. I can't figure out why. Looks like a dove is flying over.
We need to help our comrades. The boss says so. We have to be very quick.

Graphology

  Writers of Falsargot commonly shape their Candezin sentences in such a way that, to non-fluent people, look just like a type of font or style to write. But readers of Falsargot can distinguish hidden meaning in these extra attributes that accompany the written words. A slash added to an f might mean danger, and an extra loop in an O signifies important news.

Author's Notes

The language of Candezin and by extension Falsargot is at this point nothing more than a concept and at the start of the development process. Any statement made about the two languages might very well change in the future.
